To be honest, I really don't remember that much of it. But it provided my six-year-old mind with countless hours of inspiration. I drew robots in school, and planned strategies, and dreamed of the day I could compete in FRC. And although I've enjoyed most of the games since, Hexagon Havoc will always be special.

I think we have to have different classes of favorites. '96 was my favorite for the 1v1v1 era, while '99 was my favorite for the 2v2 era (Floppies!, and climbing onto a moving platform).
The 3v3 era has quite a few good choices. I enjoyed Lunacy ('09), but it should have had a better end-game (7th trailer with no robot that you have to put in a starting square or something). If I had to pic a favorite for the 3v3 era, it would probably be Rebound Rumble. I felt that Rack and Roll was a bit flat, as was Breakaway.
